Cats, I don't know about anyone else, but I'm drawn to reading this thread like I'm drawn to looking at a car pile up on the thruway--I don't want to look. I don't want to see the horror, but I can't resist because I'm sure this pile up will be ten times worse than the last one I saw and I just can't seem to resist a peek to find out if the latest post about your psychiatrist is even more outlandish than the last one. I'm not saying this to be mean or cruel; I'm simply being honest. I try to stay away from this thread because what I see happening disturbs me--things that I see as significant boundary crossings and client abuse (how your therapist has spoken to you on more than one ocassion). If your excitement is that the thread has been viewed more than 10,000 times, please know that it's probably because many people can't believe that you're being treated this way in therapy . . .and personally, I feel bad about that because I think you genuinely feel great fondness for your psychiatrist and feel very supported. But sometimes the support we wish for and dream of isn't what we need as adults. I'm sure your psychiatrist has genuine feelings of fondness and care for you . . . but her therapeutic approach has gotten pretty strange and frankly not good mental health practice. But I'm guessing you're not going to view things the same way I do and that's okay. Just try to stay safe, okay? And please, please meet with your previous therapist and talk openly and frankly about all the things you've spoken about here on this thread and others.
